摘要

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most?common?and aggressive primary brain tumour in adult humans. Therapeutic resistance and tumour recurrence after surgical removal?contribute to?poor prognosis?for glioblastoma patients.?Men are known to be more likely than women to develop an aggressive form of GB, and differences in sex steroids have emerged as a leading explanation?for this finding. Studies indicate that?the metabolism and proliferation of?GB-derived cells?are increased?by sex steroids,?the?expression of?androgen receptors (ARs)?and?the?synthesis of?androgens?and oestrogens, suggesting that?these hormones?have a role in the tumour pathogenesis.?The expression of aromatase,?the?enzyme that converts androgens to oestrogens, has?been?reported in glial cells and GB?cell lines. Thus, it?was?necessary?to?test whether?the steroidogenic enzymes involved in androgen synthesis are expressed in GB cells.?Therefore,?here,?we?investigated the expression of four?key enzymes involved in androgen synthesis in human-derived GB?cells.?U87 cells were cultured in?Dulbecco's?modified Eagle?medium?plus?foetal bovine serum?and antibiotics on slides for immunocytochemistry or immunofluorescence. U87, LN229 and C6 cells were also cultured in multi-well?chambers?to obtain proteins for Western?blotting.?We?used?primary antibodies against?3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD), 17α-hydroxilase/17,20-lyase (P450c17),?17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD)?and 5α-reductase.?Immunocytochemistry, and?immunofluorescence?results revealed that?glioblastoma?cells?express 3β-HSD, P450c17, 17β-HSD and 5α-reductase?proteins in their cytoplasm. Moreover, Western?blot analyses revealed bands corresponding to the?molecular weight?of these?four enzymes in the three GB cell lines.?Thus, glioblastoma cells have?the key enzymatic machinery necessary to synthesize androgens,?and these enzymes?might?be?useful?targets?for new?therapeutic?approaches.
